We had enough chances to win this game comfortably, there must of been a couple of thousand from Shrewsbury. I enjoyed the game, an inspired substitution, hughes goal was good

Fer my money the best Div2 game ive seen this season, Shrews took the lead thanks to a blind linesman, But both sides put in a very good performance, The Shrews will get automatic promotion n deservedly so in my book, n the Reds matched em. Thought Toto, Amond, Joyce, were outstanding, but everyone played their part, The Shrews fans were good lads, n a credit to the club. all in all, one happy cashy.

What a good game !...Shrews played some neat football..
Stanley showed all the guts and spirit that we admire so much.
MOM.. Craig Lindfield who ran himself into the ground for the team, made some really important interceptions, and supported the front men so well. Must mention Padraig as well who outjumped their tall Centre-back on several occasions and led the line excellently !.
And then there was.. oh Blow it !!..they all did us proud this afternoon !... bring on Crawley ( Who, like Shrewsbury Town just might learn that complacency can turn into torment at 'The Crown').

Given this comment and the Dalai Lama thread, I think I've timewarped back to April 1st

What a performance ! sheer bliss to watch. Well done Stanley , you put up a good fight. I was talking to a couple from Shrewsbury before game, they said quote " no offence to you here , but when we win here today ..................." They thought they got it in the bag . A draw wa a good result but I thought we were the better side in first half,even though we were a goal down.My heart sank when Guthrie came on , thought we were throwing game away, but to his credit , he has slightly improved ..he looks where ball is going now. Though Devitt when subbed dragged his feet to leave the pitch. Good game all round, proud of them all.

Great game today! Thought Luke joyce was back to his best. Also think Craig should stay at right back. Does anyone know why Kevin mc was captain?

In the absence of any other explanation we assumed it was because he was playing against his former team ...........

There will/may be a separate thread on this, but, if I am right, he manages a kids team and they - and their mums, dads, aunties, uncles, friends, neighbors - turned up to watch Macca today!!!

I may though, not be right on this.........

True

Kevin was certainly interacting with a group of youngsters and parents at the end of the game. You could well be right, Joe, but it's a slightly unusual reason for swapping your skipper ..............

stanleyfan · 21-04-2012, 18:11

Only a thought but maybe he has agreed terms on a new contract. There was an article in the Lancashire telegraph saying he would love to stay.

sparkie · 21-04-2012, 18:16

Kevin Mc's little boy was taking part in Stanley Trust's grassroots team initiative on the pitch at half time today and Kev manages the team (Runcorn linnets). I have no idea if that's anything to do with the captaincy though! Lol

Heard some Shrewsbury fans in the pub prior to the game saying '...we'll walk this one and be straight on that pitch after the whistle.'

If not for their keeper having a blinder we'd have put 3 or 4 past them.
